Information sources recommended for IT Pros at IU
At Indiana University, IT Community Partnerships (ITCP) recommends that IT Pros subscribe to or follow these sources for vital security and service information:
IU mailing lists
- The IT Pros mailing list: Registered IT Pros are automatically subscribed to this ADS group when they register in the IT Pro database. Because subscriptions to this list are both mandatory and automated, it is reserved for distributing essential, time-sensitive technical information, actionable items, and security concerns. The list follows an announcements-only format and is moderated by ITCP.
IT-Technical-L
: This list receives the same content sent to the IT Pros list. It is intended for those with a professional interest in IT at IU, but who are not required to register in the IT Pro database. Subscriptions are limited to IU email addresses. Send a subscription request toit-technical-l-subscribe@iu.edu
.Note: If you are registered in the IT Pro database and you also subscribe to
IT-Technical-L
, you will receive duplicate copies of messages sent to those lists.IT-Announcements-L
: This list is intended to communicate IT-related news, announcements, and events of interest to all IT Pros at IU. Content will generally not overlap with that sent to the IT Pros andIT-Technical-L
lists. The list is moderated by ITCP, and relevant messages are welcome from all subscribers. Subscriptions are open to anyone with an IU email address. Send a subscription request toit-announcements-l-subscribe@iu.edu
.
- Early Notification List (ENL): The UITS Support Center and other members of the IT support community share early warnings on possible outages. Communications on this list are intended to stay within the IT Support community and are a means to quickly determine the presence and scope of possible unexpected issues with IT systems. Once a possible outage is recognized, it may be posted as an IT Notice. You can subscribe to the ENL if your IT Pro specifically authorizes you via the IT Pro Database.

You can receive IT Notices in email, via RSS feed, or by visiting the Status.IU website; see Access IT Notices at IU.
